When Yasenia arrived at the city's entrance, the guards looked over, and their eyes started roaming her body. Because of how they looked, she knew something like this might happen.
The guards at the entrance had rough clothing and were clearly unwashed. Moreover, she saw them try to hit on a few other people when they were doing the inspections.
She ignored them for now since she just wanted to enter the town to gather some information. The guard approached with a smirk, and the man that been guiding Yasenia spoke. "You don't want this."
The guard sneered. "Shut up, Li Wei. You are lucky I am letting you and your little group enter after what you did." Then, he pointed at Yasenia and said. "And you, come with me, I need to inspect you."
The dragoness raised her eyebrow and spoke, her voice light as if she were talking about the weather. "I don't want to stand out, so I will give you one chance to kowtow and apologize. Perhaps you can live if you do that."
Li Wei lifted his arms and laughed. "Waaait! Hahaha. Let me talk to the gorgeous here and explain a few things."
Yasenia looked at Li Wei and squinted. "I gave you a chance, didn't I? What is the Cultivation Realm of the City Lord… Never mind, Doriel, go in and tell me."
Doriel bowed elegantly. "Yes, Young Miss."
The guard sneered and summoned a strong-looking spear. "That's if you can pass over me."
However, Doriel ignored him and melded with the shadows, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Li Wei and the guard looked at the place where Doriel disappeared with a baffled expression. "Huh? Where did she go?" The guard looked at Yasenia's calm face and snorted. "Do you know what will happen if you offend the City Lord? You are lucky if you end up more than a pretty doll after he is done with you!"
Yasenia looked at the guard and said. "You only have one chance to live now since you declined my order to apologize. That chance is that your City Lord is strong enough for me to respect his authority."
Li Wei looked at Yasenia with a stunned expression. While he knew that Yasenia was strong, many strong people could do what Yasenia did to his group. He said with a severe expression. "Senior, you need to understand that you are not the strongest."
Yasenia didn't answer; she didn't feel the need to. This Li Wei guy was nothing but a guide who would disappear from her life when he lost his utility.
Doriel came back a few seconds later and kneeled, faithfully reporting. "Young Miss, the strongest person in this city is a High-Level Ethereal Soul Realm Cultivator. I am fairly certain that he is the City Lord from his clothes, servants, slaves, and living space."
The dragoness hummed. "I see." Then, she looked at the guard and declared flatly. "You are out of luck."
Li Wei opened his eyes as Yasenia lifted her hand and made a downward gesture. "Kneel."
The guard felt like a mountain fell on his shoulders, and his knees buckled, forcing his face to smash the hard ground below him. The dragoness had zero sympathy for this person who, most probably, had committed several unspeakable crimes.
Not paying attention to the guard who was receiving an increasingly large pressure each second, she looked at Li Wei and ordered. "Guide me inside. I want to look around and get information."
Li Wei gulped. 'I have severely underestimated this woman.' He quickly bowed, leaving aside any type of playfulness he had before. "Yes, Senior."
His group of twenty followed Li Wei's gesture with trembling legs. They realized that they were in the hands of someone who could practically snap her fingers and send them to the reincarnation cycle.
Yasenia nodded. "That's a better attitude." She looked at the people around her and realized something. 'Hm? Am I being too overbearing? Or is the just the right amount?'
While the dragoness imagined herself on the other side, it was not difficult to do so as her rise in Distancia hadn't occurred without a few similar situations like this one.
The maids looked at Yasenia's pensive face and smiled, knowing what the dragoness was thinking. Alaia asked. "Is Young Miss thinking if you would have the right to complain when you are on the other side in the future?"
Yasenia answered. "No. I am a hypocrite, and I admit it. If I ever am on the other side of this situation and survive, I will eventually take my revenge. I was wondering if this is the proper way to do what I had planned."
Kali asked, curious. "What's your plan, by the way? Being overbearing like this?"
Yasenia smiled. "Showing that I am not someone that can be bullied. Those who will set their sights on me because of my beauty must evaluate if it is worth it. Acting like this shows that I am someone that comes from a certain type of family." Yasenia giggled as she started walking forward. "I am basically puffing my feathers and hoping the predators get scared."
Kali burst into laughter. "That's a good analogy."
When the dragoness walked forward again, she ordered. "Li Wei, move and continue guiding me."
Li Wei looked as the pressure on the guard severely increased with each step Yasenia took, and asked. "Senior, um..."
"He will die." Yasenia spat, and when her foot landed on the ground again, the guard's body was crushed into meat paste.
The sound of vomiting was heard from behind her, but the dragoness ignored everything and allowed the group of twenty to guide her inside.
Once inside the city, a group of ten soldiers appeared, pointing their spears at Yasenia. "HALT! You can't enter this place after murdering one of our guards!"
The dragoness spoke. "As long as you let me alone, no one will die. I plan to leave today either way."
The Guard Captain shouted, his face solemn. "I can't allow you to walk inside."
The dragoness took a step forward while using her movement technique. She disappeared from everyone's sight and reappeared in front of the Guard Captain while holding the tip of his spear.
Everyone felt their hearts shake in fear. "I can feel that you are a good person. So, take my advice and stay below the rubble."
She then flicked the spear tip. When her beautiful nail smacked the spear, there was a massive shockwave followed by the body of the Guard Captain flying off by the ridiculous strength behind her single-finger flick. "Li Wei."
The man ran forward and spoke respectfully. "Yes, Senior?"
"Continue guiding us toward the place where I can gather the most information about the nearby towns, cities, powers, and overall information."
A guard grabbed the spear tightly, looking at Yasenia with heavy breathing and trembling hands. He was sweating, and his heart was pumping, not from excitement about the gorgeous dragon woman.
When the dragon woman looked at him, out of pure flight or fight reflex, he lunged forward with a scream and a massive burst of strength. "AHH!"
Yasenia blinked and held the spear with her tail as if he were a child swinging a stick. "Hm…" She didn't bother with him as well, throwing him flying into the rubble where the Guard Captain was.
Bang!
She sighed and said. "This is at least better than those Young Masters or Mistresses coming in waves like horny animals. Anyway, let's continue."
Sadly for Yasenia, there were people who were very stupid from birth. Plus, if those stupid people were coddled and spoiled rotten by their parents, their brains were basically as useless as the decoration trying to hide their ugliness.
"You there! Stop!"
Li Wei cringed when he heard this voice and quickly informed Yasenia. "S-Senior, that's the City Lord's youngest son…"
Kali looked as Yasenia looked skyward with a defeated face, and she laughed again. "There, there. At least we know the father and grandfather are weaker than us."
Yasenia sighed. "Right…"
Alaia asked. "Young Miss… Do we just kill him?"
The dragoness looked at the man that was approaching in extravagant clothes and with two half-naked women holding each of his arms and said, straining her brain to overthink things. "P-Perhaps, he is different from what he looks?"
The maids and Kali deadpanned, but they didn't say anything. They looked at the man who stopped in front of them with a haughty smile. "You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life!"
Yasenia spoke as if her words were the most valuable thing in the world. "Thanks."
The man continued. "I have seen that you are strong. However, I am the son of the City Lord!"
Yasenia answered again, her voice drier than a moon desert. "Oh."
Not seeing the reaction he expected, he frowned and squeezed the breast of one of the women by his side. The woman spoke loudly. "Ignorant woman! The Young Lord is allowing you to be his partner! You should rejoice and show eagerness!"
Yasenia looked at the woman with pity. "A caged bird that can't see an eagle when it stands before her."
The woman blinked twice, her deteriorated brain failing to understand Yasenia's words.
Kali patted Yasenia's arm and shook her head. "They are both drugged. Their cognitive functions have declined to the point that they are like children. Be a bit merciful with them."
Yasenia sighed. "Isn't death the best mercy?"
Kali opened her mouth but closed it, looking back at the two women who had lost eyes. "I guess… Sigh."
The Young Lord started rambling again, but Yasenia ignored him, having heard enough. Alaia asked. "Do we get rid of him, Young Miss? I don't want you to stain your hands with his filthy blood."
The dragoness smiled softly while looking at Alaia, making the world around her light up with her beauty. Until now, she had a relatively cold face. That gave her an unapproachable vibe even when her face was incredibly charming and alluring.
Now that she was genuinely smiling, the noisy surroundings literally got silent as everyone appreciated Yasenia's smile.
"Thanks, Alaia. Then, go ahead."
The Young Lord's eyes were stuck on Yasenia's face and shouted. "You will become my main wife!"
Kali and the maids waved their hands, and their combined pressure attacked the man from everywhere.
CRUNCH!
The pressure that assaulted him from every direction literally crumpled him into a ball of flesh, staining everything around with his blood.
The guards behind the Young Lord widened their eyes, not knowing what had happened, while the two afflicted women looked at the ball of meat with incomprehension.
Yasenia approached those two and tapped their heads with a sigh. "Sleep."
Her energy penetrated into the women's acupuncture points, instantly killing them without a shred of pain.
A powerful bellow echoed through the city. "WHO DARED TO KILL MY SON!"
Yasenia looked over and sighed. 'People are really the same regardless of where I go, aren't they?'
